Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The preposition "of" should be introduced before "bone" to make the sentence grammatically correct. The sentence conveys that the new meaning comes from the discovery of bone ornaments. Thus, the preposition "of" should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Ancient jewellery or decoration has a new meaning with the discovery of bone ornaments."
